Study Overview

The global roofing materials market is booming, driven by growing demand for high-performance, sustainable roofs: valued at $129.62 billion in 2023, it is expected to reach nearly $170 billion by 2027, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9% over the period. In France, the roofing sector is even more dynamic: sales have risen from 6.10 billion euros in 2019 to 8.59 billion euros in 2024, with an average annual growth rate of 7.1% despite the -3.1% slowdown recorded in 2020.

International trade plays a key role: French exports peaked at 228.15 billion euros in 2022 before stabilizing at 170.47 billion in 2024, mainly to Belgium(23.3%) and the UK(11.8%). In parallel, imports reached 614.31 billion euros in 2023, before falling back to 524.02 billion in 2024, underlining the start of relocation in the face of dependence on Spanish(40.7%) and Chinese(1.7%) supplies. This configuration generates a structural trade deficit, rising from -204.5 billion in 2019 to -410.9 billion in 2023, then reducing to -353.6 billion in 2024. Furthermore, analysis of producer price indices reveals inflationary pressure on raw materials: ornamental stones, clays and concrete elements saw their costs rise significantly between the beginning of 2023 and the end of 2024, reaching respective peaks of over 136 and 139 points. Faced with these trends, the French roofing market is characterized by solid growth, competitive challenges linked to massive imports and volatile market conditions.these factors will shape players' strategies in the years ahead.
